Homesphere Partners With Rebuilding Together Metro Denver and Chris Grundy of DIY Network

    LAKEWOOD, CO, July 03, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rebuilding Together Metro Denver's (RTMD) long-time partner, HomeSphere, Inc., is supporting the organization's efforts to provide safety modifications and repairs for homeowners in need with a sponsorship that will allow RTMD to host a team of ten AmeriCorps National Community Civilian Corps (NCCC) young men and women for several weeks. Built on the belief that civic responsibility is an inherent duty of all citizens and that national service programs work effectively with local communities to address pressing needs, the team will mobilize to help dozens of homeowners improve safety in their homes by installing grab bars, handrails, ramps, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors.

The effort began in June with National Safety Month, an annual observance to educate and influence behaviors around the leading causes of preventable injuries and deaths.

"Basic safety upgrades help ensure that older adults can live more independently in their homes," noted Glenn Renner, President and COO of HomeSphere, a company that connects the residential construction community through technology-driven solutions. "HomeSphere is committed to supporting our community in practical ways and RTMD offers tangible solutions that make homes safer and healthier for their residents. We are so pleased to bring attention to a national effort to keep people safe."

Chris Grundy, host of Cool Tools on the DIY Network, joined the effort with a demonstration of basic repairs and modifications that not only ensure safety, but add value to the home. The DIY Network is a national partner of Rebuilding Together.

The mission of AmeriCorps NCCC is to strengthen communities and develop leaders through direct, team-based national and community service. NCCC teams partner with nonprofits of all types to serve communities in need. RTMD has hosted AmeriCorps NCCC teams for two years, engaging its members in the delivery of crucial home repair services.
